(Hitmaka!)
Let's have sex, but not without the foreplay (okay, cool)
But not without the first date (okay, cool)
But not before I have to wonder if you let me hit if I walk you to your door way
Let's have sex, but not without the sprees babe (okay, cool)
Not without the vacays, no
Ohh, it's the way it goes
Now don't this feel right (don't this feel right)
I'm tryna put you in the light (tryna put you in the light)
Ooh, it's the way you go
Now don't say goodnight (don't say goodnight)
I'm tryna fuck you on top
Back in the days when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore
But these days I'm thinkin' maybe we should fuck again
I'm tryna meet you in Vegas and try my luck again
All your friends say you ain't really in love with him
Started off the Henn' and now I'm off the Patron
Had to switch it up, I had to hit your phone
Can you picture us posted on the wall?
Can you picture us posted on the wall?
I put her to sleep, she woke up like that
Breakfast in bed, I ordered her for a snack
Then get to the bag, talkin' a big payback
Roll my Wood' and give her good
Ohh, it's the way it goes
Now don't this feel right (don't this feel right)
I'm tryna put you in the light (tryna put you in the light)
Ooh, it's the way you go
Now don't say goodnight (don't say goodnight)
I'm tryna fuck you on top
Let's have sex, but not without the foreplay (ooh yeah, okay cool)
But not without the first date (ooh yeah, okay cool)
But not before I have to wonder if you let me hit if I walk you to your door way
Let's have sex, but not without the sprees babe (ooh yeah, okay cool)
Not without the vacays, no
Ohh, it's the way it goes
Now don't this feel right (don't this feel right)
I'm tryna put you in the light (tryna put you in the light)
Ooh, it's the way you go
Now don't say goodnight (don't say goodnight)
I'm tryna fuck you on top
The song "Lights On" by Black-Ty (Tyrese) is a classic R&B track that delves into the nuances of intimate relationships. The chorus of the song, "Let's have sex, but not without the foreplay, but not without the first date," emphasizes the importance of building up to sex and not rushing into it. The lyrics suggest that Tyrese wants to take his time with the girl in question, not just sexually but also in terms of getting to know her. He also wants to ensure that there is chemistry and mutual attraction before they engage in sexual activities.
The second verse of the song, "Back in the days when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore but these days I'm thinking maybe we should fuck again," shows Tyrese reminiscing about a previous sexual encounter and wanting to recreate it with this girl. He wants to rekindle their sexual chemistry and desires to take things to another level. He doesn't just want a one-night stand, but instead hopes to deepen their connection by meeting in Vegas and trying his luck again.

I helped her fall asleep and she woke up easily
Breakfast in bed, I ordered her for a snack
I served her breakfast while she was in bed and ordered her something small to eat
Then get to the bag, talkin' a big payback
After that, I will focus on obtaining a large amount of money and seeking revenge
Roll my Wood' and give her good
I will smoke a blunt and engage in sexual activity with her
